Fire companies from three states, including several companies from the Eastern Panhandle, responded to the blaze. No one was reported to have been injured. The building that burned, which housed a liquor store and an apartment, was formerly home to Wolfe’s on the Square. According to the National Park Service website, the building was filled with C&O Canal history and was at one time owned by the family of canal boatman George ‘Hooper’ Wolfe.
